I understand that it is free witin the first year of Lasik Eye Surgery, but what if it's been 5 years? How much can one expect to pay?
Answer
It really depends on what laser eye center performed your surgery as to how long the warranty last for. If it has been over five years you should go back to the clinic that you had surgery and have an annual eye exam done to see if you are a good candidate for a re-treatment. It will be the cheapest for you if you go back to the surgeon who initially performed your surgery. He has all your records and knows your eyes and the way the flap was created. If you go to another center it can be costly because it is more work for that surgeon because it can different then what they are used too. I know Dr. Taylor who I work for gives a discounted rate to his patients. You are looking at anywhere between $300-$1000 per eye. Call your laser vision centre and see what they would do or look for your surgeon. I hope this helps.

What happens when you get lasik eye surgery?

Like what do they do? Do they put a lazer up to your eye or what? What happens if you blink during the process? What if you move your head? I need answers!
Answer
I had Lasik 5 yrs ago. They put numbing drops in your eye first, then when they are working you lay down under the laser machine and they place a clamp on you eye to keep it open, it looks like a reverse eye lash curler. Then the Dr. cuts a flap on the cornea and lays it back, next he tells you to look at the red blinking light- this is when the laser starts its job and makes small incisions to let more refractive light into your eye. It takes from 30-60 seconds depending on your correction. Last the Dr. replaces the flap, queeges the flap flat so it reattaches, and WHOLA, you have 20/20. I did have to go back a year later because one eye needed a enhancement.
After care you go home sleep for 4 hrs, they want your eyes closed to start to heal. you wear protective shields in the shower and when you sleep for 10 days. Eye drops and lubrication daily for a couple of weeks. It was the best money I ever spent. Had glasses from child hood.
